Waffles Hedgehog Learns to Plant Seeds [Large Print]

By Kerry Howard

Waffles Hedgehog Plants Seeds is a gentle Montessori life-skills story that guides young children through the complete process of planting and caring for seeds-from preparation and planting to patience, observation, and harvest.

Set in a calm Montessori classroom and garden environment, children follow Waffles as he chooses his work, prepares the soil, labels his pot, plants seeds carefully, and tends his garden alongside his friends. Each step models real Montessori principles, including sequencing, concentration, independence, care of the environment, and completion of the full work cycle.

Written by AMI-trained Montessori educator Kerry Howard, this story reflects authentic classroom practices and developmentally appropriate routines for children ages 3-7. Soft, painterly illustrations and simple, respectful language invite young readers to slow down, observe, and engage meaningfully with the natural world.

Perfect for Montessori classrooms, homeschools, and families, Waffles the Hedgehog Plants Seeds supports practical life learning while nurturing patience, responsibility, and confidence in young children.
